Composer Michael Andrews (Donnie Darko, Neighbors, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Bad Teacher) is reuniting with director Judd Apatow on the upcoming comedy The King of Staten Island. The film starring Pete Davidson, Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Bel Powley, Maude Apatow and Steve Buscemi centers on a burnout stuck living with his mom on Staten Island. Apatow (The 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up) and Davidson also co-wrote the screenplay with Dave Sirus. The director is also producing the project with Barry Mendel (The Sixth Sense, Munich). Andrews has previously scored the Apatow-directed feature Funny People, as well as numerous movies and TV shows produced by Apatow, including Bridesmaids, Freaks and Geeks and The Big Sick. Apatow’s last two features, This Is 40 and Trainwreck, were scored by Jon Brion. The King of Staten Island will premiere next week at the 2020 SXSW Film Festival and will be released in theaters nationwide on June 19, 2020 by Universal Pictures.
As previously reported, Andrews also has Michael Showalter’s The Lovebirds (to be released in theaters on April 3) coming up.
